There's a large number of vendors in the ARM market shipping locked-down devices. Microsoft are, currently, nowhere near the largest of them. The only difference I'm really able to see there is that Microsoft impose this requirement on OEMs, but even then you'd think that the only people with standing would be the OEMs.

The original article mentions only x86 being part of the complaint filed with the EU, not arm.

Can you file a complaint against Apple too? I would really like to boot Linux on my iPad. I don't think I even know anyone with a Surface.
